    To say that I highly recommend Karma Home Designs would be an understatement. Karma truly is the best in DC (and in the metro area)! Do yourself a favor and hire Jordan and his team!

    I recently bought a home in Alexandria, VA using a 203k loan. Originally, I went with a contractor that was recommended by my realtor, and he BAILED on me!! My realtor's referral left me high and dry, in the middle of the loan process, which put the purchase of my home in jeopardy. Then, after thorough searching, I found Karma - and they came in and saved the day- saved my new home! They picked up right where the previous contractor left off, with the lender's paperwork, and began renovating shortly after my 203k loan closed.

    Jordan and his team were/are extremely professional, have great communication skills (flexible communication via email, phone, text, and in-person), and are extremely trustworthy. I even left on vacation (for 2 weeks) while they continued the renovation process - and the work continued without a misstep.

    The materials used and finishes were wonderful - better than I ever expected. Karma completed a full kitchen remodel (complete with new appliances, quartz counter-tops, and lighting), converted a hall closet into a laundry closet (the old washer/dryer were in the kitchen), installed beautiful wood flooring throughout the house, and installed a new stair case (to match the new flooring). All completed on time and within a reasonable budget!

    The renovation process went so smoothly. There were a few hiccups, but Jordan and his team were so prompt and attentive which made for a virtually stress-free process. I am not an easy customer - I have very high expectations. Karma, by far, exceeded my expectations. In a strange way I am grateful that the previous contractor quit... it ended up being good karma for me.

    Craig, Nadira, and Miguel did a fantastic job remodeling our kitchen and bathroom. Especially in the current times with labor shortages and supply chain issues, the KCG team completed our project quickly and efficiently! The best part was that they were able to complete 80% of the work while we were out of town during the December holidays. They kept us updated daily with pictures that showed us the progress. In total, we were able to complete the project in 4 weeks. I would highly recommend KCG for any significant home improvement project you are looking to take on! Make sure to ask to work with Nadira and Miguel.

    Karma redid my siding and my entire flat roof. We have a huge townhome in Washington DC which was very hard to get to. Our other roofer did not do a good job and Karma was able to fix a lot of coping mistakes. They are truly great! Also helped with my insurance adjustment for the painting and drywall, they were very communicative. Would recommend as general contractors.

    Karma recently came for an estimate to repair and replace our copper metal roof. They also did a solar consultation. We ended up doing both, and the roof looks great! Nice 7 year warranty and they are certified with a some nice Vendors. The solar is going through permitting and we excited to get it installed. We are thinking of working with them for our deck and patio as well. Will update the review of anything changes!

    I had the pleasure of working with Karma Home Designs recently, and I have to say, that it was a great experience. They were extremely professional, dedicated and knowledgeable about every question that I had. Not to mention, I never had to worry about any lack of response. Any question I had would immediately be answered, even after what I would consider to be "office hours." We wanted to redo our kitchen in Northern Virginia and get some other bathroom and basement home renovations done and they have made this process incredibly easy for me. Everything was carefully explained to me and finished right when they said it would be done. I can't recommend them enough!

    Karma Home Designs came out and did an estimate for my Day Care, they were very professional and very well priced. They took their time during the consultation and we went over designs for the new kitchen and bathrooms, as well as fixing the roof and windows. These guys do high quality work and are local in DC. Totally recommend.

    My husband and I have been Karma clients for about 1.5 years and have appreciated the personal attention and care that Jordan and his team show us. We started with what we thought were going to be some repairs to water damage but ended up needing a huge remodel due to shoddy work done before we bought the house. Jordan guided us through the process, communicating clearly and quickly at every step. The work is lasting well and the design is beautiful. We are getting ready to start another project and look forward to more beautiful results. Thanks, Jordan and Karma team!

    We used Karma to renovate an existing sunroom which was an addition on the exterior of the home. They demoed a brick wall with windows and removed the door that led into the room making it flow as a natural extension of the home, fully insulating and wiring to code. This also involved raising the floor to be on level with floor in the home and rebuilding the steps to the back yard. Craig came out to do the proposal and was great to work with, we went back and forth a couple time discussing options and he was always ready to answer any questions and rework the quote. Once we signed the contract the project started on time and was completed on schedule, it was about a 2 1/2 week project and the crew did a great job. All design touches were discussed beforehand and there was nothing that was left unaccounted for so when they were done that was it. Would use Karma again for any remodel or addition.

    I had a great experience with them. Hans was my project manager. He was very professional & knowledgeable. They finished remodeling my house ahead of schedule & it looks so much better than I've imagined. I highly recommend both Hans as the project manager & Karma Constructions for all your home remodeling needs.

    We worked with Karma on our bathroom remodel. Craig and the team were fantastic - super responsive to our questions. They delivered high quality work, had super attention to detail and made sure everything was just right. We got great value on the job and would definitely work with them again. I would recommend them!

    Work was nicely and professionally done. Went over initial budget but that was on us since we changed our minds and wanted more expensive kitchen cabinets which led to delays in getting the cabinets, installing countertop, etc. Jordan and his team were flexible (which we really appreciated) and very quickly installed them. Will def call them again

    We had karma build our new home in fort Washington. Took 4 months permitting and 8 months to complete. They seem to be very busy but they were able to accommodate me.

    So happy I chose this contractor for remodeling my kitchen and bath. From Andrea who set up my appointment, Craig my Project Manager who always answered when I had any questions or concerns, Mariya who helped me with designing, Peggy who helped with any invoice questions, and Jordan the owner following up to see everything was going good! I couldn't have had a better experience. I look forward to remodeling my basement with them next year and possibly a pool. Would recommend 100%

    The worst experience I could imagine with a construction company. DO NOT HIRE, even if their quotes start out lower than the competition- it's just not worth it. From start to finish, the project took an insane amount of time- starting from March 2023 with the original quote to January 2024 for something that we were originally told would take only a couple of weeks. A lot of the delays were because the project manager was unresponsive or because the wrong materials were delivered. This happened twice- and then we had to wait weeks for the wrong materials to be picked up from our house, and then even longer for the right materials to arrive. The lack of communication was completely unacceptable- multiple times people showed up to our house and we had no idea work would be done that day. No one would take responsibility for any of the problems we had throughout this project. The work itself was (eventually) done by subcontractors instead of Karma employees and they were great, but ultimately the experience was so unnecessarily stressful and unprofessional that I cannot believe that the 5 star reviews for this company are written by real customers. We had a truly terrible experience with Karma and I strongly urge anyone reading this review to hire someone (anyone) else.

    Where do I start? My husband and I wanted to renovate our kitchen without really putting too much thought into exactly what we wanted. Craig came in and helped us navigate and build our dream kitchen. I genuinely can’t thank the team at Karma Construction group enough from the professionalism to the final product. We will most certainly be using Karma again and will be recommending to others. Such a wonderful experience!

    Started a major construction job of adding a bathroom and an outer room with many specific built INS has required in the original contract. The contract was broken over and over again and failure to have anyone manage the job. There was very rarely anybody on-site to what watch, very poor workers who did very low quality work. They put an entire hvac system into my new addition, and no heat came in. It's freezing cold and now I have to hire another company to correct all the mistakes they made.They put a heated floor in my bathroom, which I paid extra for and it never function, and now I'm having to have the entire floor pulled up. The correct wiring put in etc. The entire job took months and months longer than it was supposed to, and they finally never were able to finish it. The company he didn't seem to have enough money to complete any of its tasks, or they just didn't care. Never in my opinion, use karma. As a construction company, awful awful experience

    I live overseas and was looking for a company to renovate my home In the Washington DC area. I was concerned about designing a full bathroom renovation remotely but Karma construction made it easy and the final product exceeded my expectations. karma has has a team of highly experienced design and construction professionals who work with you to ensure high quality, on time completion and within budget. I received great advice on design and functionality which greatly improved the final product. The team worked with me remotely using zoom calls for design and product selections, posted daily update throughout the construction process on their user friendly on line system (also provided ease of payment) I felt completely updated at every step. The team was super easy (and fun) to work with and I enjoyed the process. The total experienced exceed all expectations and I would definitely engage Karma again for our next renovation. Thank you Karma!

    From the very first consultation to the final reveal, my experience with Karma Construction Group has been nothing short of extraordinary. This talented team transformed both my kitchen and bathroom, and the results are breathtaking.

    The Kitchen Remodel: They turned my outdated kitchen into a modern masterpiece. The attention to detail, from the custom cabinetry to the sleek countertops, is impeccable. The team was incredibly responsive to my requests, integrating high-quality materials and state-of-the-art appliances. Their innovative design has made my kitchen not only beautiful but also more functional.

    The Bathroom Transformation: My bathroom now feels like a luxury spa. Karma Construction Group's expertise is evident in the exquisite tile work, the elegant fixtures, and the perfect lighting that they chose. They maximized the space beautifully, creating a serene and stylish retreat.

    Throughout the process, the team was professional, courteous, and punctual. They communicated clearly and kept the workspace tidy, and ensured the project stayed on schedule and budget.

    Karma Construction Group was an amazing for us and i believe for anyone else looking to remodel their home. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and customer service were over the top. I couldn't be happier with my new kitchen and bathroom, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a hassle-free and high-quality renovation experience.

    I had Craig as my project manager. He did a phenomenal job organizing multiple home repairs in a timely professional manner. All repairs were done excellently and the clean up was superb. All contractors were respectful and reliable. I had a concrete driveway, a new roof, bathtub with beautiful tiles, a double wall oven put in to existing cabinets etc.
    I love the fact that Craig communicated with me and my family members so that we understood details of everything throughout the whole process. No surprises!
    I would gladly recommend Craig and his team to everyone I know.

    When I realized I needed extensive repairs and renovations of my office I had in mind to get competitive bids before deciding on a contractor. But after my 1st meeting with Karma I was impressed with their responsiveness and design ideas and decided to go with them. Their bid came in very reasonable and they started right away. Thanks to the project manager, Craig Pinto, there was never a break in their work schedule and they got me back open and operating surprisingly quick. They have a great team of workers who delivered quality with attention to detail and responsiveness to my many changes and industry needs. Happy that I chose Karma Construction! Thanks Craig and Sergei for a job well done!

    Overall construction was OK.

    Management was a nightmare and the project was about a month delayed. They never tell you when people are going to be in your house. Our overall privacy was gone for three months. They just walk in whenever they want, it was extremely frustrating.

    When working with Jordan and Craig, get everything in writing. They were very misleading and there were lots of mistakes.

    Craig didn’t seem to know what he was doing. Which is fine, but he had an ego and constantly talked down to me.

    When asked to remedy the mistakes, they give you snarky manipulative responses, as if you’re stupid. They were so rude.

    Peggy in accounting constantly over charged us. Double charged for materials we already paid for, and added materials that weren’t even used on the job. When asked to remedy the mistakes, they denied any fault and basically said pay up. The sub contractors buy whatever they want, and they just send you the bill. Extremely frustrating.

    Buyer beware, I would not recommend at all.
